  1. a)Standard deviation (SD) of M-values (M = log2R-log2G) was calculated for each series of 48 replicate spots within array. The averages of the SD of seven independent microarray experiments are shown. b) Coefficient of variation (CV) [(SD of M-values × 100)/mean of M-values] was calculated on the same sets of data and the averages of the seven independent microarray experiments are shown.
